Aging barriers influencing mobile health usability for older adults: A literature based framework (MOLD-US)
TL;DR: This research provides a novel framework for the exploration of aging barriers and their causes influencing mHealth usability in older adults and identifies a key need for future research on motivational barriers impeding mHealth use of older adults.

Mobile health for older adult patients: Using an aging barriers framework to classify usability problems
TL;DR: By classifying usability problems with MOLD-US, insights on these barriers can be enhanced to adequately address these issues in new designs, and it is proposed that future research focuses on investigating suitable usability evaluation methods adapted to older patients' characteristics.

System Usability Scale Benchmarking for Digital Health Apps: Meta-analysis
TL;DR: This study concludes that the SUS and the widely accepted benchmark of a mean SUS score of 68 (SD 12.5) are suitable for evaluating the usability of DHAs and speculate as to why physical activity apps received higher SUS scores than expected.

Designing for Older Adults: Principles and Creative Human Factors Approaches
TL;DR: The 2019 Richard M. Kalish Innovative Publication Book Award 2019 as discussed by the authors provides easily accessible and usable guidelines for practitioners in the design community for older adults, including an updated overview of the demographic characteristics of older adult populations and the scientific knowledge base of the aging process relevant to design.
